Looking at installing vg's any thoughts from the group on wing color vg's vs white ? My wing leading edge is green. See benefit with contrast for cleaning and same color for looks.

Thanks in advance!

tellico, before the Vgs, I suggest painting the upper side of your horizontal stabilizers and elevators if Forest green and covered and painted at Maule.
That green has proven to be a very heat absorbent colour and the sun can shrink the tapes causing cracking of the paint and curl of tape edges.
If not painting it, Do cover with a sheet or something if ever you leave it parked out in the hot sun, even for an hour or two.
VGs if white won't get knocked off as much when cleaning or fueling.
